Ohhhhh Yuckkkkk.. I best remember this actor these days from The Surreal Life. He is a terrible actor and an even worse human being. " 2 Thumbs Down " on this one.

I need to vent. It is Monday March 3 and I just finished watching Y&R, and I am so very frustrated with this soap.
This soap is very snore,snore, snore.

I am at the point of not watching this for awhile because I am so bored with all of the story lines and I feel even if I didn't watch it for say a month, I won't feel I missed anything and I would be able to just pick up where I left off. How Pathetic!!!!!!

Y&R YOU REALLY NEED TO RETHINK!!!!!!

I don't agree that all the storylines are boring. Any time Nick and Phyllis are on screen there's no such thing as boring!! Also think the Amber/Daniel storyline has definite possibilities.

Let's just hope he won't have the predictable accent and will do a good job in the role, but I'll just wait and see.

Oh great, just what Y&R need, to make matters worse. He better not be annoying and boring like the Glo clan now is.

He is a terrible actor???? Are you kidding me??? Have you ever seen him anywhere other than the Surreal Life??? And I guess you weren't paying much attention to the Surreal Life while you were watching it... I suppose you just watched the first episode and that was it... Well, buy the DVD set and watch the whole thing carefully before being so mean and saying things like that about someone. What do you know about him to say he is a bad human being!

Bronson is a great person and nothing like they tried to show on the Surreal Life, and on one of the last episodes during the Dirty Laundry segments, ALLLLLLLL the women disagreed with the whole thing of him being a pervert and all... Did you happen to see that?
